Description
Junkyard Planet is a gripping science fiction novel set on the planet Poictesme, a world left in economic ruin after a galactic war. The story follows Conn Maxwell, a young man who returns to his home planet with knowledge of a legendary computer rumored to hold the key to restoring Poictesme's prosperity. This computer, known as "Merlin," was believed to have guided the victorious strategies during the war.
Conn's return sparks a frenzy of excitement and speculation among the inhabitants, who see Merlin as their salvation. As Conn leads a quest to locate the elusive computer, he confronts the harsh realities of his world, including political scheming, social upheaval, and the desperate hopes of the people.
Alongside a cast of colorful characters, Conn uncovers hidden truths about the planet's past and the nature of Merlin itself. H. Beam Piper crafts a compelling narrative filled with adventure, intrigue, and philosophical questions about technology's role in society. Junkyard Planet explores themes of human ingenuity, resilience, and the quest for progress in the face of adversity.
